November 19th. It was a bright day, and reasonably warm for the time of year. But there weren't many birds to be seen. Some crows were making their usual noise but otherwise there were just about none to be seen. So, I headed over to the "duck pond." And my attention was drawn to some bushes by the sounds of rustling leaves and some movement which I at first thought was falling leaves. But no. There were four or five small birds like this.
